Description of 1988 Mazda RX-7 10th Anniversary Turbo |
10th Anniversary FC RX7 with Ford 5.0L V-8 swap This car was bought as an abandoned project and had the V-8 swap performed to enter the Grassroots Motorsports (GRM) $2004 challenge in 2004. The builders returned in 2005 to take the overall win at that event. We then bought it and used it at autocrosses and track days before being put away for several years. The build was done very well, but on a budget, so work was put into updating the cooling system, doing maintenance, installing a new stereo, and hooking the heat up again. It's ready for daily driver / track day use! Engine

Interior
This is a very clean build based on a very clean and original chassis. Firewall was modified to allow engine to be installed as true mid-front, with the engine entirely behind the center-line of the front wheels resulting in a 52.5 / 47.5 F/R weight balance. Weight is 2815 lbs with full interior. This rebuild is brought to you by Hennepin RestoMods |
